Hey Hawk Surprise

Red-shouldered Hawk

It is another winter day here in Southeastern Massachusetts from a very cold morning to first of the snowstorms before the blizzard starts late tonight and into tomorrow. I have spent the day photographing the birds coming to the feeder. Watching the interactions between the different species and among the species. At 4:00 PM, I came back down to capture the end of the day images. Suddenly, out of the conifer a covey of at least 12 Council at more mourning doves came flying out headed in all directions. I said to myself. There has to be a hawk nearby. I thought initially that it would been a Cooper's Hawk, but out of the conifer flew a red-shouldered hawk which landed a nearby tree and gave me a chance to photograph it. After the hawk took off, the juncos, titmouse is and house sparrows came in and started feeding.
